..faith

I want to live a life that requires faith, rather than limiting it to an option in my day. Would it be wrong to purposefully strip away the luxuries of this world to force faith and trust as lifestyle requirements? I want to walk with the unknown of tomorrow to be truly unknown, no 401K to catch me if I fall because it would be another net that I would create by myself. We are never called to have a retirement plan in the Bible, why is it a requirement for modern living? My parents want my life to be bigger and better than theirs, for that is the American dream. I want that too, I want my life to have more passion and more joy and more faith than theirs but that results in a lifestyle that is not as big or as comfortable as theirs. Faith is the need of something and the trust that it will be provided for. If I am not in need then how am I suppose to have faith? I can muster up things in my life to fill my need for faith but if the essentials of daily living require faith to make them come together, how much stronger would my faith be? Life is fulfilling when it happens on the fringes, and that is where faith flourishes. It grows in doubt and opposition and becomes strong when the waters flow hard against it. I want to live with faith as a requirement and with unbounded love as its obvious conclusion and if it means that I live a life with no financial security and no promise of an okay tomorrow that is fine by me.
